Welcome to Positive Mind Therapy — a premium therapeutic space where deep healing, emotional clarity, and personal transformation converge.

At Positive Mind Therapy, we offer more than traditional talk therapy. We provide highly personalized, clinically sophisticated care for individuals, couples, and families navigating the complexities of trauma, emotional dysregulation, and relational struggles. Our approach is designed for clients who are ready to move beyond surface-level coping and toward lasting, meaningful change.

Whether you’re facing the emotional residue of a difficult past, struggling in your relationships, or simply tired of feeling like you’re not enough — you’re in the right place. Here, therapy is not about symptom management alone. It’s about helping you reclaim your voice, rebuild trust in yourself, and reconnect to a life that feels authentic and emotionally grounded.

We specialize in working with emotionally insightful, high-functioning clients who are ready to invest in deep, focused, and sustainable healing. This is a space for those who have tried other therapists and approaches, and are now seeking something more intentional, more attuned — and more effective.

If you're ready to do the real work in a space built on respect, expertise, and collaboration, we’re here to walk that path with you.

"They said"

Celso G.

"I can't thank Paula enough. We have been working together consistently. Week after week, we tackle issues together, and she has helped me discover a lot about myself and what I need to work on. She has helped me through some of the toughest times in my life, and I'm truly grateful for her. Also, she's super fun to work with. We have grown a really good relationship, and it's all because of how amazing she is at what she does.
She makes our session super fun and interactive. I constantly look forward to our sessions every week.

 I can honestly say I'm not the same person I was  when I started working with her, and it's all thanks to her. I have recommended her to multiple friends and family members because of everything she has done for me. I'm a much stronger person mentally and emotionally because of her guidance and professional experience. I will keep working with her and highly recommend her to anyone seeking therapy. She is the best of the best and a true master at what she does.
Thank you, Paula!"

Ashlie A.

"Recently turned 26, I've reflected deeply on my past self and the person I've become. This transformation owes everything to Paula. Her guidance, knowledge, patience, and friendship allow me to embrace 26 with gratitude, joy, and peace.I had layers to unravel, unknown to me at the start. Paula intuitively navigated what needed addressing first, untangling intertwined issues layer by layer, reaching the roots effortlessly.

I once believed a life free from anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem was unattainable. Now, anxiety feels foreign, occurring so rarely that I can decipher its signals. Sleep comes easy, negative thoughts are scarce, and meltdowns are a thing of the past. Challenges are now mere speed bumps; I've found my voice, authenticity, and boundaries. Chaos and toxicity no longer hold sway. I safeguard my peace zealously.These transformations are monumental, all thanks to Paula. I've broken free from a lifetime of mental shackles, embracing 26 and beyond with newfound freedom. Forever indebted to Paula for restoring my life!"

Nichole S.

"Paula is a fantastic therapist and really puts in the time and effort to get to know her clients. She helped me tremendously with my healing process, using DBT to help change the way I view situations.

 

She is a very kind, considerate and compassionate therapist who always wants the best for her clients. She has not only helped me, but my friends and family as well. I highly recommend her services."
 

Mindful Coffee Moment

Ready to Do the Deep Work? You're in the Right Place.

You’re done with quick fixes and surface-level solutions. You’ve likely spent years struggling with overwhelming emotions, turbulent relationships, identity confusion, or deep-rooted feelings of shame, emptiness, and rejection. You might have been labeled "too much" or even turned away by other providers because your challenges were “too complex.” If that’s your story, I want you to know — I see you, and I’m not going anywhere.

I’m a seasoned, trilingual clinician (English, Spanish, Portuguese) with over a decade of experience guiding clients through the most challenging emotional and relational terrain. I specialize in treating individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), complex trauma, and attachment wounds — populations often misunderstood or underserved in traditional therapy settings. I also work with high-conflict couples seeking to break toxic cycles and rebuild connection with clarity, respect, and emotional honesty.

WHAT WE DO
Where Emotional Depth Meets Clinical Precision

At Positive Mind Therapy, we provide elite, highly individualized care for clients navigating the emotional weight of complex trauma, longstanding mental health challenges, and relational distress. Our services are intentionally designed for those who have been misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or underserved in traditional therapy settings.

We specialize in working with individuals living  with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Complex PTSD, attachment wounds, chronic anxiety, depression, and patterns of emotional dysregulation. Our clients are often deeply self-aware, high-functioning, and financially stable, but still silently suffering under the weight of unresolved pain.

This is not generic therapy. We offer tailored treatment plans grounded in evidence-based modalities, but elevated by a deeply attuned, trauma-informed lens. Whether you're facing intense emotional swings, relationship chaos, or a sense of emptiness that won’t go away—this space is designed for you.

Our work is collaborative, compassionate, and structured for results. We don’t just treat symptoms—we help you reclaim your sense of self, build emotional regulation from the inside out, and move from surviving to thriving.
